Can leave work on time
After a typhoon day is announced, the company requires employees to assess the wind and rain conditions the following morning before deciding whether to go to work. Before heading out, a colleague reported that the wind and rain were severe, but the supervisor only asked whether there was flooding. When the colleague said there was not, the supervisor replied, “That’s good, then,” and said we still had to go to the office as usual, handle everything that needed to be done, and only then leave early. When training new employees, they say to ask if there are any problems, but senior employees and supervisors are obviously impatient with employees they do not like. Their instructions are often unclear, causing new employees to make incorrect judgments, yet they then blame us and tell us not to work based on “I thought” or “I felt.” Throughout the learning process, they basically treated me with a negative attitude. There was so much work that it was impossible to finish it all, leaving me overwhelmed. When I raised this with the supervisor, the supervisor simply opened their own notebook and told us that they had even more work, so we should manage our own schedules. I also remember making a mistake during an especially busy period. After the supervisor shouted at and blamed me in front of everyone, I tried to ask a senior employee how to resolve it, but was immediately snapped at: “Are you asking me what to do now?” I genuinely needed an answer and wanted to resolve the problem quickly, but in that embarrassing situation, besides panicking, I did not know what to do. Things like this happened repeatedly, making me feel that the workplace culture was such that only if the supervisor liked you could you enjoy a relatively friendly atmosphere (although there was still more work than could be completed). Otherwise, no matter how much effort you put into getting up to speed quickly, as soon as you made a mistake, you would be criticized as if you were completely incompetent. This work experience only made me feel that I was terrible and useless.
